All The Fox Film Franchises Disney Now Owns

19. Home Alone

What's the betting the bigwigs at Disney are currently greeting each other around the office with "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal?"

Okay, so there hasn't been a theatrically released Home Alone movie since 1997's Home Alone 3 (which in the eyes of many isn't even a true sequel, given it doesn't feature the characters from the first two films). The trilogy was still a major cash cow for Fox, earning upwards of $900 million at the box office.

Two TV movie sequels have followed - the most recent of which, 2012's Home Alone 5, was produced and screened by Disney-owned network ABC.

The fun, festive, frighteningly violent series remains popular viewing around Christmas time, so it's not hard to envisage Disney dusting it off for another run at the big screen.
